BUNNELL's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
s'Unele Dan1, a Messenger from Jarvis
Section" was played to good sized audiences

erybody indoors. The play is one made

musical wonder.

SYMPHONY CONCERT.
The fourth concert by the Boston Sym
phony orchestra under the auspices of the
New Haven Concert association drew large
audience at Carll;s Opera House last evening
The programme consisted of Beethoven's
Symphony No. 8, preceded by two short or
chestral pieces and three piano solos superbly
played by Miss Aus der Ohe. The opening
number, the overture to "Oberon," roman
tic opera by Weber, and one of his most pop
ular works, was performed in the same
charming manner as the Invitation to the
Dance at a former concert. Miss Aus
der Ohes first selection was LISTS "Concer-
to No. 1, in E fat" The design of all con-
certos is to exhibit the skill of the performer
and the one chosen fully met this require
ment. 1t is constructed upon a very different
plan from the one generally adopted, being
more like fantasia or rhapsody. No piano
soloist has visited US since Rubenstein who
has SO entered into tine spirit of the music
and who evidently took as much pleasure
in playing as the audience in listen
ing. Miss Aus der Ohe had
SO mastered the concerto that she
played it with the freedom of a composer
She was enthusiastically applauded and was
obliged to bow her Acknowledgements to the
audience three times. Bach's "Adagio
and Gavotte" was next performed by the
stringed instruments only. This is the first
time, we believe, that this composers name
has found place a programme this sea-
son. The name of Bach is familiar to all low
ers of music and was borne by very numer-
GUS family of musicians who occupied prom
inent places i'll the history of their art for near
ly 200 years. John Sebastian Bach was the
greatest of them ALL ''to whom" as Schu-
man declared, emusic owes almost great
debt religion does to its founder" The
selections rendered were among his minor
works and were played they were writ
ten-gracefully and delicately. Miss Aus der
Ohe's last two selections were the "Nocturne
No 5, in sharp" Chopin, and the ''Valse
Caprice" (Rubenstein). The nocturnes, per-
haps, che most difficult and at the
same time one of the most pleasing
of the nineteen similar compositions left by
it's author. The waltz is one of Rubenstein's
drawing room pieces and as usual brilliant
and difficult. With both these selections
Miss Aus der Ohe took the greatest of liberty
with the time and there was music in every
note she touched. After continued applause
she played Mendelssohn's spinning song as
an encore and at it's conclusion the men,
bers of the orchestra joined the audience in
their applause. Beethoven's third symphony
concluded the concert. 1t is generally con-
ceded that this work is the greatest piece of
programme music yet composed.
When first completed it bore the
simple inscription ''Bonaparte," and was de-
signed as tIibute to the first consul. Be-
fore it was given to the world, however, the
news of Napoleon's assumption of the
title of emperor shook Beethoven's faith in
his hero, and so the work was first produced
under the name "Sinfonia Eroica." The
musical length of the symphony was admit
ted by its author, who, in memorandum
prefxed to the original edition, requested
that it be placed nearer the beginning than
the end of the programme-aftera nocturne
or concerto that it might
produce the intended erect upon
the audience before they became
wearied. 1t would have been better if this
direction had been followed last evening.
The orchestra vas certainly not quite SO sue
cessful in rendering this symphony as we ex-
pected and we prefer to attribute it to
badly arranged programme than to any lack
of care the part of such a splendid band
of musicians. The concerts this season have
been very successful from a musical stand
point and have been rare treats to those who
delight in hearing music of the highest order.
